Abstract
A prehistoric ford near Rough Castle, Falkirk

91 - 103
Excavation of stone ford laid across a small stream at Rough Castle, Falkirk, Stirlingshire, provided radiocarbon dates and pollen evidence to indicate a date for its construction no later than the early first millennium BC. Interpretation was not straightforward and this report raises wider questions about processes of site formation and interpretation of radiocarbon and pollen evidence.

A radiocarbon-dated collared urn from Oban
Christopher Lowe
105 - 118
A collared urn was found on a raised beach on the north side of Oban Bay, Argyll. Post-excavation analysis has shed further light on the chronology of this vessel type and on elements of the ritual associated with its burial. A truncated pit of medieval date, filled with fire-cracked stones, was also revealed. Includes two specialist reports on:

The excavation of a medieval ring-ditch enclosure at Hayknowes Farm, Annan, Dumfries and Galloway
Richard A Gregory
119 - 139
Excavation of a crop-mark site revealed a ring-ditch containing internal structures. Pottery and radiocarbon dating indicated that the main structural phase fell between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries AD. Since the site was initially assumed to be prehistoric, this dating suggests a degree of caution when interpreting crop-mark sites and designing fieldwork programmes. Includes separately authored reports on:

The Ancient Bridge of Stirling: investigations 1988--2000
Ronald Page
141 - 165
Describes investigation of remains below water in the River Forth, presumed to be from the Ancient Bridge of Stirling, destroyed in 1297 after the Battle of Stirling Bridge. Two known masonry piers were re-located and surveyed, and two more piers located for the first time. These four piers lie in a straight line diagonally across the Forth. It is argued that they represent some of the eight piers shown on the Old Common Seal of the Burgh of Stirling. Excavation on the south bank revealed masonry that might be part of the bridge abutment, but nothing similar was found on the north bank. No dating evidence could be obtained.
